Boarding School?? My son is ADD and 11yrs old 6th grade- when is the best time to send him?

My son hates school. he is not excelling although he is VERY smart. His attitude is defiant for no reason. He has what I call a bad and negative attitude. He is an only child and spends most of his time alone. He would stay on his computer/video game all day if I let him. I am growing very concerned for his future. He shows signs of being extremely lazy (i know its the add) He makes a big deal about brushing his teeth. He just refuses to take care of himself. Every day is a struggle.

This is not about a break for me. I don't know what else to do for this child. I want to give him anything I can so he will at least be an independent and self maintaining adult. Does anyone know of a good boarding school that specializes in ADHD. I don't have a lot of money but I will go in to debt to do something for my son. i have my own anxiety about sending him away but I am at the point where I feel like If I don't do something my son is going to be lost.

I would appreciate any recommendations or advice
